Abstract: An airfoil assembly for a turbine engine can include an airfoil having an outer wall bounding an interior, and an insert located within the interior with a space between the insert and airfoil outer wall. A cooling hole can pass through the insert with an outlet fluidly coupled to the space between the insert and outer wall.

Abstract: A turbine frame cooling system for use with a gas turbine engine includes an outer ring defining a cavity and a hub positioned radially inward of the outer ring. The turbine frame cooling system also includes a plurality of circumferentially-spaced first fairings coupled between the outer ring and the hub and a plurality of circumferentially-spaced second fairings coupled between the outer ring and the hub, wherein the first and second fairings are alternatingly positioned about the hub. The turbine frame cooling system also includes a plurality of circumferentially-spaced air scoops coupled to the outer ring. The plurality of air scoops extend into a bypass stream and are configured to channel a bypass air cooling flow into the cavity of the outer ring.
